Dont have any pics on hand, but if you want an even stance with a decent drop, H-techs. Its what I have. I also have 19" wheels with 225/35 tires and my car sits with no wheel gap. Go with s techs if you want an incredibly low ride

check my profile...there's some pics with my Htechs...I personally love them...IMO, Stechs are a little to bumpy of a ride...Htechs are pretty smooth for just springs

i have h-techs, its a perfect drop for the scion tc. s-techs seem kinda low IMO and i think its also a rougher ride.

well if you want your car slammed to the ground go s-techs for a rough ride. or if you want somehting more comfortable go h-techs.

^, usually not, unless you are doing auto x or somthing or wanting to adjust it alot. but doing an alignment should have fixed all that.

you should also be ok on stock shocks for a while, but then eventually you should upgrade your shocks, or maybe even coil overs.

^^ you'll be fine. a good way that you know your shocks are blown is if you can push down on the car (by a wheel) and it bounces up and down - or if your driving and you feel that the car is a bit too bouncy
